Veleco

Veleco is a Polish company with an extremely important mission to help people with physical disabilities. The manufacturer of luxury medical devices – mobility scooters and electric-powered wheelchairs, has been on the international market for nearly a decade, although the last few years and recent investments have highlighted its importance.

Veleco’s rise to prominence
The passion, dedication and commitment of the brand CEO Jakub Marek resulted in the creation of Veleco – a manufacturer of electric medical vehicles, more and more recognizable throughout Europe. Multi-million investments and continuous development manifested in the improvement of processes and products as well as the expansion of the assortment make Veleco not only a Polish company with potential, but an important player on the markets of medical vehicles of the European Union and Great Britain.

Commitment to quality and customer service – Veleco focuses on safe mobility solutions
Veleco mobility scooters and electric-powered wheelchairs are medical products aimed at the elderly and ones with disabilities. Veleco focuses on providing safe vehicles while maintaining the highest quality standards. The company's investments are based primarily on continuous improvement of the production process and customer service during and after the sale. Veleco has its own car fleet. Logistics facilities allow us to build strong relationships with regular and new customers and to develop the distribution network, personally delivering vehicles to customers throughout Europe. This, in turn, affects the control and maintenance of the appropriate quality of customer service throughout the entire sales process – from production, through order preparation and fast delivery.

Innovative technologies and a wide range of medical devices
Veleco products are characterized by innovative technologies, including primarily electricity supply. Veleco's leading vehicles are electric mobility scooters. A novelty in the offer is COSMO – an electric-powered wheelchair designed for use both outdoors and indoors by people with mobility issues of all ages. It is emission-free, manoeuvrable and extremely easy to use – joystick controlled. The launch of COSMO is a response to the needs of those who want to be completely independent while moving in a wheelchair.

Veleco’s new headquarters
So far, one of the largest investments undertaken by the company has been the recently completed construction of a new headquarters. The modern Veleco complex was built on an area of one hectare. The office building, warehouse hall and the entire infrastructure of the facility allow for effective development on many levels; further investment in the purchase of new equipment and expansion of the supplier network, which already includes over 30 distributors from all over Europe, i.e. Spain, France, Portugal, Italy and Great Britain. The Veleco complex is one of the most important projects in the vicinity of the Industrial Park in Czestochowa (Poland), and the financial outlays incurred in connection with it amount to PLN 15 000 000.

Continuous improvement and global expansion
The actions taken by the Management Board – from the production and distribution of future-oriented products, to the use of innovative solutions and technologies on a daily basis are a testimony to the company's commitment to sustainable development. Along with the delivery of medical devices that allow for free and safe movement of the elderly and people with disabilities, goes care for the environment and employees. A large photovoltaic installation and an intelligent building management system designed for Veleco contribute to significant energy savings. The investment in the latest ICT solutions used in the new headquarters of the company puts Veleco in the light of an attractive employer.

Profitability and Corporate Social Responsibility as the way to success in a challenging global economy
Veleco continuously improves products and their development processes (i.e. by introducing new storage solutions), thanks to which it is possible to compete with global brands of electric medical vehicles. The company constantly examines current and prospective markets and reacts to changes taking place in them on an ongoing basis. This is particularly important because Veleco's expansion is not limited to Polish and British markets. The brand is known in many European countries, and the Veleco team is constantly looking for new contractors. The focus on profitability, quality and sustainability of the company means that investments will generate high economic and financial indicators in the future, which over the last four years showed a nearly 20% year-on-year increase.

Creating not only profitable, but also socially responsible business in an undoubtedly difficult time for the global economy is a huge challenge. Veleco proves that thanks to experience, well-thought-out strategy and quick response to market changes, it is possible.

Veleco has been supplying luxury electric vehicles to customers across Europe for almost a decade. With the growing demand for electric mobility products and customer expectations, the company faced a major challenge – how to reduce lead times while keeping costs at an optimum level? In addition to a trained workforce, an appropriate fleet and infrastructure is needed to meet market demands. After an in-depth financial, market and cost analysis, we decided to build a two-storey new assembly facility. Let’s take a look at new headquarters of Veleco!

New headquarters of Veleco in the vicinity of Czestochowa Industrial Park
At the end of November 2020, in the vicinity of Czestochowa Industrial Park (Poland), construction of the new Veleco facility began. After a little over a year of work, the construction is at the stage of finishing the interior of the office space, installation of equipment to support the storage and transport fleet. The opening of the new premises is planned for April 2022. This is an extremely short construction period. Especially considering the latest ICT solutions applied in the warehouse and assembly room. These will help streamline the production process and better manage the finished product, all of which will translate into shorter lead times, cost optimisation and maximised quality.

Investments to optimise operations
The new facility will be fully operated by an innovative electronic and digital system that was developed internally for Veleco. The automation of individual customer assembly configuration, the order flow and vehicle release will be accelerated by 23%. Veleco is not stopping there. There is another investment of Czestochowa’s company planned for this year. Additional warehouse, which will allow to maintain the continuity of deliveries, even during the peak season. Currently on the site work is being prepared to start the construction of hall B. And it is scheduled for completion on 30 April 2022. The area of hall A gives almost 1000m2 and hall B over 2000m2, it will be additionally enlarged by a two-level system, thanks to which the facility will exceed 4000m2 of usable warehouse and assembly area.

Modern, functional and ecological design of new headquarters of Veleco
It is worth mentioning that a modern, three-storey office building is being erected next to the warehouse complex, with a total area of 440m2, equipped with the latest ICT solutions, while maintaining beautiful interior design and functionality at the highest level. The office building and the entire facility will be powered by photovoltaic panels, which makes the building ecological. Not even one piece of conventional old-style lighting was used in the entire investment. The building is fully equipped with LED lighting outside and inside the rooms. Without a doubt this intelligent building management designed for Veleco company, will save 30% of electricity and heating more than 50%. As the name of the company indicates Veleco is focused on ecology, therefore its goal was to create a friendly and green building. Moreover the garden of the headquarters is surrounded by several thousand plants equipped with an underground, fully automatic irrigation system.

Not only the land development plan and the design of the elevation were prepared by Ms Paulina Cieslik from the ZOEN company from Czestochowa, but also the green architecture and the road infrastructure. What’s worth notice Ms Paulina Cieslik has extensive experience in similar projects. The new seat of Veleco company is definitely one of the most modern objects of this type in Czestochowa and Silesian Province. The landscaping gives a unique look and distinguishes the building from other investments in Czestochowa.
